A family asleep in their home; Bmaj7 – Dbmaj7
Gets blown to pieces by some reaper drone; Bmaj7 – Dbmaj7
Outside the iron dome, it’s mass graves and craters. Bmaj7 – Dbmaj7- Bmaj7 – Dmaj7
Bombs and artillery shells fly; Bmaj7 – Dbmaj7
So many innocent civilians die; Bmaj7 – Dbmaj7
And if you ask why, they call you a traitor. Bmaj7 – Dbmaj7- Bmaj7 – Dbmaj7
The 'powers-that-be' say, it's the price we must pay D – G
For freedom and democracy. F#
But read between the lines, I think you will find D – G
It has nothing to do with you and me; (Absolutely nothing!) A – E

Thousands detained and disappeared;
What they did wrong is never made clear.
And when you're blinded by fear, you never ask questions.
Gaza to Guantanamo, torture, mass murder all over the globe,
With no end in sight to the empire’s aggression.
Wrapped in the flag, the warmongers brag, ‘It's manifest destiny.’
But strip away the guise, of the distortions and lies,
They aren't doing this for you and me.

[CHORUS] I'll not be party to their murderous game, Bm – G – A – E
Not with my body, heart or soul or my brain. Bm – G – A – E
Stand up with me and sing – Bm – G – A
Not in our name. [4] Bm – G – A – E

While the war machines torture and kill,
They hope we keep silent and just pay the bill;
Stay complacent and still, while they unleash the beast.
Billions and trillions for war,
While here it’s homelessness, debt and more working poor.
One thing's for sure, they ain’t buying us any peace.
The warmonger barks, bombs and bullets are marks for our safety and security.
But look behind the door, you'll see that war is no cure for what's ailing you and
me. [Chorus] …Not in Freedom’s name…Not in democracy’s name…Not in
America’s name… Not in my people’s name…Not in humanity’s Name…Not in
our name…Not in my name
